Happy Monday!

Today we had Western Civilization first mod. We had a discussion about the way of life of the New Guinean people. We proposed ideas about the reasons in which they act this way, or have this way of life. Some said that it was because of the schooling system, another possible reason was the government, while some even thought that they wouldn't even accept the change, and would still want to continue their way of life. We also talked about how people could take away their way of life and force them to be a part of modern civilization even if they didn't want to. We also watched Germs, Guns and Steel today. Here are some of the notes:

• Llamas are from South America
• The other 14 domesticated animals over 100 pounds live in Europe, Asia, and Africa
• Cattle, Pigs, Goats and Sheep live in the Middle East
• No domesticated animals are currently in New Guinea
